It's day two of life in Philadelphia. This mural on our apartment building (temporary until we find a house) captures the spirit of the Northern Liberties neighborhood. We'll play tourist, Liberty Bell and all, before our cars are delivered and the moving van arrives later this week. The weird glitch in the last hours of escrow's close on the old house is fading like a bad dream. After thirty-three years in San Diego, I have awakened in a new land that is a return home.

What a cool mural! Is the apartment just as hip Susan?
Hope you really come to love Philadelphia - good luck.
Thanks Susan. The neighborhood is the hip new artsy area. Lots of new lofts, galleries, restaurants, etc. First impressions however, are that there are conflicts with the folks who lived there before the gentrification, who may be getting squeezed out. Sigh.... It's always complicated...
